Benjamin Moore

Granite

AF-660

Granite is a dark gray with a subtle violet undertone that adds complexity to its otherwise neutral appearance. With an LRV of 21.95, this shade absorbs considerable light and is suited for accent walls, studies, or bedrooms where a deeper tone is desired. The violet cast distinguishes it from standard cool grays.

This color pairs effectively with Benjamin Moore's Chantilly Lace for sharp contrast, Balboa Mist for a softer transition, and Silver Satin for tonal continuity. Black Satin can deepen the palette, while Newburg Green offers a complementary accent.
